How therapy helps

Straight talking with a neutral and non-judgemental person can really help a young person to gain new insights and perspective on their situation. They may be faced with exams, decisions, essays, job applications and interviews. All of these can produce stress. When stress gets to the point where it is interfering with sleep or affecting quality of life and key relationships  this is the time to get help. I offer and teach a number of effective techniques that young people respond well to such as Havening Techniques, EFT, EMDR, Mindfulness and Hypnosis for use between sessions and as an ongoing life skill.

Testimonial - Treatment for Severe Phobia:
Teenage boy with a Needle Phobia that needed injections and blood tests.
"Just wanted to let you know that xxxx had his inoculations at school today – in both arms! So thank-you for helping him through his needle phobia. I would say he definitely seems happier and more confident all round since your sessions! You’re a wonder and I'm recommending you to all my friends".

Techniques I use

Counselling - some people just prefer to chat about it and that's ok. I provide a number of interventions such as EMDR - a technique that uses the bi-lateral eye movements from REM sleep, which is the brain's natural healing process, Havening Techniques which involves light touch that produces Delta (or brain) waves that switch off the triggers of distress deep in the Amygdala (a part of the Brain), EFT tapping that involves tapping on meridian points whilst releasing emotions , Gestalt therapy that involves being able to have a conversation with someone who is not present, Hypnosis that involves relaxing the body to the point where the conscious chatter (or internal dialogue) is quiet and the subconscious listens to helpful post-hypnotic therapeutic suggestions towards changes of old patterns, behaviours and desired outcomes. 
​Parents are welcome to attend sessions if the Teenager would prefer it and I keep in touch via email in between sessions. I provide exercises to help with relaxation and developing a calm approach. Please get in touch for a chat or send an email.
